I remember walking by and being blown away. Couldn't believe the airplane was playing for free on the rooftop. Caught a pic with my iPhone and shared on whatsapp. A couple days later Marty balin and Paul kantner liked me on facebook. Just kidding. Marty didn't like the pic at all. 60s just died that day for me.
I deepty prefer this version to the "synchronized" one with wrong "improved" colors and even "improved" sound. Not to mention the other additional "info" kitsch. I dont remember 1 PM, but this one "has energy"........
If only the cameraman had kept his focus on the band, instead of panning all over the place at spectators and buildings! I would have loved to watch Grace while she sang "some one stood in the window and cried one tear . . ."
and whose idea was it, to frame the negress standing behind the screen door, or the first cop on scene with his sturdy Italian face under an officers hat, or the stern german woman glaring at the racket, the meteoric rise and fall of RCA - one can 'hear' the music and 'see' the people reacting, but someone, not just anyone, brought this all together... fly Jefferson Airplane get you there on time
The Beatles didn’t copy the idea. They were offered the idea by record executives since they were recording an album in a building/studio. The rooftop was a last minute idea. They plan was to perform on live television for about 20 minutes after four-year break from live performances.
The description says July 12th....but people are wearing jackets & coats. Wonder what day it was? Freedom baby....yeahhhh!! Until the cops showed up. 😔
He and his crew were filming JA live in 1968 for a documentary, not quite realized, called 'One American Movie', on a hotel rooftop in midtown Manhattan. (Take that, Billy Preston and Paul McCartney!)
Cops had to bust up the party 'cuz, shit man, you can't have people deviating from the norm and spontaneously expressing their creativity. What kind of world would it be if people were allowed to spontaneously express their creativity??? The prison guards in Washington wouldn't like that. No, no, no. They wouldn't like that at all.
We have to make spaces for each other. Taking has to be accompanied by reciprocal giving. OTOH, subsequent police forces learned their lesson and were smart enough not to *arrest* the Beatles and U2.
As much as i love Jefferson Airplane, by the end of their career in the band they became pretty boring....it just became over the top noise making, this song is nothing compared to: Its no Secret, DCBA 25, Today, JPP MC Step B Blues and almost all the songs from surrealistic Pillow, i don't know what happened, but i guess all great bands never match their older original divinely inspired spark, even the Beatles ran out of steam eventually, they became totally boring, Get back?, no thanks haha.
Surrealistic Pillow is a great album and arguably the group’s best, but one could easily compile an equal selectively choosing tracks from their next three albums. This song from Crown of Creation is one I would certainly include.
The Beatles never created something new, Elvis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard were the first artists that promoted and created rock n roll, Bob Dylan created rock n roll with meaning and protest against the system. Pet Sound by The Beach Boys were the first album by a band that has an early concept and psychedelic album that advanced the field of music production abd the horrible St. Peppers is only a mush up of messy music parts. JEFFERSON AIRPLANE were the first band that played on a roof. So those overrated British guys, specifically Lennon aren't innovators; Lennon was an idiot and horrible human being that hated the others, starting with his mate Paul, his son Julian, his first wife Cyntia and people who believe in Jesuschrist. He definitely never could compare him.
I’m guessing you know absolutely nothing about The Beatles. The Beatles invented over eight genres, inspired hundreds of bands/artists, and changed the music industry, pop/rock music, and the world with their image and music. They were the first band to play at a large stadium, they were the first band to make an album featuring psychedelic undertones (not Pet Sounds, Rubber Soul and Revolver did it, even Pet Sounds is my second favorite album of all time), they brought East influences (classical Hindustani music, raga music, etc.) into Western music, were the first band to make a music video, first band to make a progressive rock album (“Sgt. Pepper’s” then “Abbey Road”), first band to incorporate the sitar in pop/rock music, first British band to hit #1 in America, first band to print lyrics on a record cover, first band to fuse folk music and pop rock thus creating “folk rock”, first band to have a double album go #1 in Britain, and the first band to have a song over 7 minutes go #1 on the Billboard charts, first band to include guitar feedback in their song intentionally, and they invented hard rock with their cover of “Twist And Shout” in 1963. All this and they’re overrated?! Also, John Lennon didn’t hate his band mates. He had beef with Paul when dealing with money issues and band leadership. They reconciled in 1973, four years after their falling out. They were still friends. He didn’t like his son but he loved his first wife, Cynthia. He didn’t know how to raise a child yet as his parents walked out on him when he was a toddler and was raised by his aunt. He tried to patch things up with his son but passed away before they could talk it out. Not to mention Lennon became a born-again Christian in 1977, three years before his untimely death. Do your homework.
The musicianship in the Jefferson Airplane was actually at a fairly high level (especially for rock at the the time-when people like Keith Emerson, Rick Waksman, and Carl Palmer were still generally unknown).
Soooo grace did it be for the Beatles huh... bloody brilliant,😅👍🏻
Grace Slick is/was dangerously beautiful....she could raze walls with that vibratto!.
Right? My god, the power of that woman's voice.
no offense.. today she doesnt have any teeth and is quite fat.. but back then she was a natural beauty that is for sure.
@@DJBuglip yep. one of the few voices that can still break out the chills.
Rest in Peace Jean-Luc Godard... He filmed this
Really? thats brilliant
@@user-hv5uy7ct6g Yess!
Three members of the Airplane are still alive: Grace, Jorma and Jack. Jorma and Jack continue to tour as Hot Tuna.
Best T-shirt I ever saw said if You Don't know Jack then you don't know Jorma.
@@steveshattah Love it.
Love this, we need more roof top concerts
ROOF-TOP a year before the Beatles.
+bodensick Two months. Also, the Grateful Dead played the rooftop of the Chelsea Hotel
8/10/1967 for the Warhol crowd.
Shows you how long the idea was around doesn't it.
Get Back and go home to ur mommy`
@dTom Stamos they didn't suck, they were just different
it's been done
This vintage video was filmed by Jean-Luc Godard -- the #FrenchNewVave master

So many unique bands in those days, making a statement without being violent. And their point was made with an explanation point!
Maybe the bands themselves weren’t violent, but the 60s were full of domestic terrorist and political violence.
Sure, like the Weathermen

Grace just kicked so much ass and was beautiful doing it.
Jefferson Airplane, the best!
It would be inconceivable today to see some kinda this... !!!!
Roof top rules! Sky's the limit, Jefferson Airplane takes it higher and on time(:
Whoever shot this video,is a genius ✨🧠
It was shot by Jean-Luc Godard!
@@TheSecondNature I appreciate that
Wow, I never knew about the Rooftop Concert !! And 'House at Pooniel Corner' is the perfect opening song !
Thanks, Mo! I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we've passed the audition.

Dot, how we need that spirit...!
When Marty said "Wake up you fuckers!" The guy in the window was like "ah shit, here we go again."
A perfect mixture of people of the 50s are like wtf and the new generation then like 🤪
The irony is that we need this more right now than ever. Welcome back to the cold war.
Big change from 'Love Me Do'...This band's songs really illuminate when played live.
you do realize this is jefferson airplane? not the beatles
you do realize he is kidding? not being serious
Do you realize the psychedelic shift of the Airplane was a quantum leap from the 'Love Me Do' era? Grace Slick is a love weapon lasering Manhattan.
Exiles800 Marty's not far behind either. ;)
@@johnnyramon5602
Of course he does.

wonderfull
voices similar to the Spanish flamenco 'cantejondo'.

Dichosa generación nuestra! 💓
I can see Godard at the beginning of the movie
Déjà vu. Beatles rooftop concert
30 January 1969. The best.
lamest
At 7:08 the NYPD arrest actor Rip Torn for harassing them.
interesting...he was also long john silver on the album poster of the same name....
One of many encounters Mr. Torn had with law enforcement in his lifetime!
"dead-center, deep as death..."
Oh hell YES.
The good old days
Far out man! ✌
I deepty prefer this version to the "synchronized" one with wrong "improved" colors and even "improved" sound. Not to mention the other additional "info" kitsch. I dont remember 1 PM, but this one "has energy"........
Interesting. Was this before or after the Beatles last gathering?
What was the address of this building?
Se oye un poco roto...saturado...por lo demas....un tesoro
Nicky Hopkins on the keys?
NICE HAT JACK C.
World's first thrash metal song
Jens yes
No, it was Alternative rock Metal is Black Sabbaths baby
All I hear is 1960s psychedelic rock. Nothing metal/alternative or any of that pussy "safe space" edgelord noise rock.
Don t insult the Airplane
@@MarioCavett Conventional take, my man. I was talking about one riff, not the legacy of the band. Also, listen to the epic lyrics.
Ist Super Geil!HAMMER!!!! TOP!!!
That is so gritty late 60s New York City that grimy look the cops with the New York accent threatening to put I’m in jail(dirty hippies a)
Marty wearing Jack's glasses?
Freedom, блять! and my love Grace Slick!)
Hey Chris, Grace is no Yoko.
Rob Brown the surprise rooftop performance
they broke every rule in the book. until Jim Morrison came along and wrote a new book with no rules
stripervince1 For sure the Doors were unmatched.
Well there was Iggy's ground glass period.
The doors are just heroin music tbh
Meanwhile the Velvet Underground threw the book in the garbage
He just adapted Nietzsche to rock n roll.
El tipo de gafas oscuras de la ventana es el autor de este momento histórico...acaba de morir hace unos dias...GODARD & JEFFERSON FOREVER

Paul Kantner wearing a glove on his right hand at 3:38. wow. What was the building?
John Spears 49th Street between 5th and 6th Ave
RICHIE HAVENS AT 406
Inspiration for the Beatles?
No doubt about it.
The idea was around before the beatles people did that back in the 50's thats how the rooftop partys got started.
I have to questions
1-what song are they playing
2-the Beatles copied this idea
Listed right there it's called the house at pooneli corners from an album called crown of creation.
The Beatles didn’t copy the idea. They were offered the idea by record executives since they were recording an album in a building/studio. The rooftop was a last minute idea. They plan was to perform on live television for about 20 minutes after four-year break from live performances.

jefferson succumbed this record to a band little more famous than them. superlative, anyways.
No record was succumbed, if the record was for the first rooftop concert.
LOL! Hardly the same!
